By Toni Vang


Lyme Borreliosis is a dangerous infectious sickness that is caused by bacterial organisms. One of the signs of recognizing this infection is swellings in an affected area. That is just but one of the signs of this infectious disease. Other signs include swellings without the itch, high fever, tiredness and serious headaches. The infection can be detrimental especially when in its advanced stages as it makes movements hard. Your neck also becomes stiff, joints become painful, and the heart palpitates. In this article, we will try to discuss about the question of: is there a cure for Lyme disease and what you should do immediately after noticing the signs and symptoms mentioned above.

Researchers on this illness indicate that after one month of infection you develop symptoms such as repeated swellings, tiredness, and memory loss. Many people wonder how the disease gets transferred from a person to another. You need to realize it is the ticks that transmit the illness through bites.

Lxodes Genuses of ticks are the most commonly known ticks that spread the infection. For a person to get the sickness, the tick should have attached to your body for not less than thirty-six hours. The disease cannot be transferred to another person from one person. You can also not contract the disease from other animals and foods.

At the initial stages of contacting the illness when you go for a blood test, it will possibly test negative. We all know that prevention always better than cure. Let us then look at how you can prevent the illness. The first step is to avoid being bitten by ticks. Prevention means you need to dress well by wearing long clothes.

Health hygienists recommend that people should regularly spray their house with pesticides to kill all ticks in the house to reduce their numbers. When the numbers of the ticks are small, you will also reduce the likelihood of the tick sticking on your clothes or when sleeping on the bed. However when you find that one has stuck on your body, you should remove it with tweezers. You should not allow a tick to suck your blood until it gets full because it is the only way you can easily get Lyme.

How does a person treat Lyme infection? Lyme infection symptoms can be very discomforting, and immediately you get a tick bite immediately take antibiotic. Antibiotics are good for reducing the effects of the symptoms as well as treating the illness. You can also go to your health specialist and get the exact medication of what you need.

However, some people develop the symptoms as early as two days. The treatments can take up to three weeks. Beware because when you use antibiotics for long you from a resistance and it proves to be ineffective.

There is research still being conducted about a vaccination for this illness. Antibiotics that doctors have recommended for the illness include cefotaxime and doxycycline as they aid in treating the infection. If you take the drug within seventy hours after being bit by a tick, the likelihood of developing the symptoms will reduce.
